A British nurse who contracted Ebola while working in Sierra Leone is being investigated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

Pauline Cafferkey was the first person to be diagnosed with the disease in the UK after she flew home on December 28.

But she and four colleagues - another two nurses and two doctors - face potential disciplinary action over the screening process she underwent at Heathrow Airport when she returned.

A Public Health England (PHE) said: "During our recent assessment of the screening of some returning healthcare workers at Heathrow on December 28th, information emerged which needed to be passed to the General Medical Council and the Nursing and Midwifery Council."

An NMC spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that we are investigating allegations about the conduct of three nurses. It would not be appropriate to comment further at this time."

Ms Cafferkey, from South Lanarkshire, spent three weeks in hospital after being diagnosed with the disease but has since made a full recovery.

At first it appears the driver is just using his mobile while cruising along the road, but when the cyclist catches we see he also has a tablet PC playing a video lodged between the gear stick and the dashboard, with headphones plugged in.

The cyclist, who documents bad driving on his YouTube channel, says the motorist was driving in rush hour traffic on one of the city's main thoroughfares.

Police have confirmed that a climber has died in an avalanche in the Scottish Highlands.

Mountain rescue teams and the Stornoway coastguard helicopter searched for the pair on Friday night but were forced to call it off because the weather was so bad. The search resumed yesterday afternoon and one of the climbers was found walking out to find assistance for the other man.

The two climbers had been caught up in an avalanche, police said.
The mountain rescue team found the other man but he had already died.
Police Scotland said both men were experienced climbers and had proper equipment. Heavy snow and strong winds have been persistent in the Highlands over the last month.
